Home security systems help homeowners, police catch crooks

(WTNH) - It's happening all over the state. A man in Watertown took only seconds to smash some glass and get inside a house, and then walk away with the big screen TV. However, a surveillance camera caught him in the act. "These home security systems are great. I have one at my house. They are high-resolution and low-cost. And they can provide us some great evidence when something like this happens," stated Lt. William Meier with Vernon police .

The homeowner got an alarm and was able to watch the man walk through his house, up the stairs and into his bedroom where jewelry was stolen. "We have used this evidence successfully in many cases. Whether it captured a vehicle driving by, or captured somebody inside a house as in this case, it is very helpful evidence," Lt. Meier said. At Mammoth Surveillance, they specialize in security cameras. Daniel Godin saod it's important to get a good system that can see clearly in the dark.

He says there are also hidden cameras you can place right on your front porch. "They will have a spotlight camera that will replace a conventional spotlight, so as people are coming up to your home, it will alert you on your phone and you can have a two-way conversation with them back and forth," Godin explained. Police warn that as the weather warms up, the windows open up as well, and that makes a prime target for burglars.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate on Tuesday confirmed President Donald Trump's pick to lead the National Security Agency and the U.S. Cyber Command. On a voice vote, the Senate approved Paul Nakasone for one of the nation's top intelligence posts. They also approved his military promotion to general. Nakasone, a longtime member of the cryptologic community, has a strong background in cyber issues. He is replacing the current director, Mike Rogers, who is retiring. During his confirmation hearing, Nakasone said China, Russia and other nations that launch cyberattacks against the United States aren't worried about retribution and see no reason to change their behavior. "They don't fear us," he said at the hearing, adding that the U.S. must impose costs on those adversaries to make them stop. Nakasone previously commanded the U.S. Army Cyber Command and held military intelligence positions in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Republic of Korea. ap.stripes.com
